Once thought of as the greatest mixed martial artist on the planet, Georges St-Pierre will make his return to competition in November at UFC 154, UFC president Dana White reiterated at the UFC 149 pre-fight press conference Thursday in Calgary. His opponent will be interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit in a fight that will unify the UFC title that St-Pierre has held since 2008.

“As far as I know, right here, right now, he’s gonna fight, yes,” White said. “Unless any complications happen, he’s good to go.”

St-Pierre has not fought since April 30, 2011, when he defeated Jake Shields for his sixth straight title defense. In October of last year, GSP had to pull out of a fight with Condit due to a knee injury. Then in December he learned he had a torn ACL and had to cancel yet another fight, this one with Nick Diaz that would have come in the early part of 2012.

Before the injury troubles, St-Pierre (22-2) was regarded in the class of Anderson Silva as perhaps the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He’s a two-time welterweight champion and his lone loss in the last seven years came by virtue of a stunning knockout by Long Island native Matt Serra. GSP is the second longest reigning champion in UFC history, behind only Silva.

While he was out, Condit defeated Diaz in an interim title fight in February and elected to wait until St-Pierre was healthy before getting back in the Octagon.

It seems like Condit won’t have to wait much longer. He’ll fight St-Pierre on Nov. 17 in GSP’s hometown of Montreal.
